(54) Foldable playyard


(57) A foldable playyard comprises four long tubes (21), four short tubes (22) a first distal end (221) of which is pivotally connected with a periphery of one of the long tubes via a first connector (30), a second distal (222) end of which is pivotally connected with the second distal end (222) of another one of the short tubes via a second connector (40) and two intermediate tubes (23) a first distal end (231) of which is pivotally connected with the first distal (231) end of the other intermediate tube (23) via a third connector (50) and a second distal end of which is pivotally connected with two pivotally second distal ends of two short tubes via the second connector. Furthermore, a first distal end of one of the four long tubes is pivotally connected with the first distal end of another long tube via a fourth connector (60) and a second distal end of the long tube is pivotally connected with a stand which securely receives therein a pole from an upper frame. An arcuate slot defined in a periphery of the second distal end of the long tube allows a pin to be inserted therethrough and thus allows the pin to move within the arcuate slot and thus the long tube is rotated when the lower frame is folded toward the upper frame of the foldable playyard.
